A fundamental belief we have at Maclay is the importance of the individual journey. Within our Mission Statement, the words 'each' and 'balance' and 'fullest potential' echo throughout our programs. As a school that cares about childhood development from 3-year-olds to 18-year-olds, we are mindful of the structure and flexibility it takes for all of our students to chase their interests and tackle problems worth solving. We believe that the potential in each student drives their particular interest, and they are naturally drawn to those things that will fully expand them, their abilities, and guide them to their maximum impact. Today's podcast shares one of the many stories of this potential turned into action and impact. Sophomore Molly Johnson saw a need and wanted to make a difference. In partnership with the Admission Office and 20+ Maclay students, the Student Ambassador program was born and is running strong. It helps build the connections and deepen them throughout the admission and orientation process.
Molly is one of the many stories like these. Making an impact as a student at Maclay is not only possible, it is an expectation of the full experience. As individuals, we are not always skilled at specifying our goals, but as our vision sharpens through experiences, we learn how to adapt and thrive...and in the process, we grow. Not everyone has to start a club; there are countless ways we try to live our mission to, "enable each student to develop their inherent ability to the fullest extent with a balance of discipline and freedom."
Go Marauders!
